The disk recommendations is also strange. You need about 15 Gb to install Windows XP and all the build tools, then about 25 Gb for a full build of OOo, then add 10 Gb to be safe. Virtualbox disks can be does not allocate more physical disk then used, and expands as necessary, so recommending at least 50Gb is a good idea. And it looks like it would be a good ide to run VirtualBox on Linux. I tried Windows 7 now. I thought that Windows had improved since the last time I tried it back in 95 ;) But I'm really disappointed.
